Hypertherm Powermax 65 setup

[gorillamotors]

I just received my 2nd box from Langmuir. I have a Hypertherm Powermax 65 cutter and need to find out how to hook it up. Don’t refer me to the Langmuir setup procedures. Do I need the Hypertherm 65 CPC port kit or what to use it on the Pro?

Do you have the machine torch and does your PM65 already have a CPC port?
If yes, you need the CPC cable and hook it up using the Langmuir instructions and the pinout information in your Hypertherm manual.

If not, you’ll have to open up the PM case and do some direct wiring to defeat the hand torch safety. There are a couple of threads on the forum that cover the 45xp, which is basically the same procedure.

There is a hole and a plug for the CPC port. I only plan on using the hand torch at this time. I was thinking about getting the CPC port kit and the CPC cable. I don’t want to do any direct wiring mods yet.

The CPC port as configured by Hypertherm only works with the machine torch (see Jim Colt’s post in the second link).
If you’re going to use the hand torch, you’ll have to modify the CPC wiring or the Torch direct wiring to defeat the safety.

Cpc and powermax 65

So I decided to go all in for the crossfire pro even without any plasma cnc experience. I own a powermax 65 without a cpc and use 15° handheld torch, I’ve seen some writeups on wiring it up, what do you guys recommend? Also what are the advantages to using the cpc and would it be worth it to get it without me buying a machine torch? Also would I need the Hypertherm 25ft CNC Machine Interface Cable W/Voltage Divider (228350) or can I do without it. Thanks

Hypertherm 45xp W/ CPC Port Wiring?

I ordered a Hypertherm 45xp with the cpc port. Was wondering if anyone has wired this specific machine before and if its any different then the example give in the user guide. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Hypertherm powermax 45

Hello, is there a writeup for wiring the Hypertherm powermax 45 somewhere? Or is it the same as the XP?

NTK FabWorks table setup with drain tank and Hypertherm wiring explained

I’ve seen lots of people asking a bunch of questions about these things, so I figured I’d post up how I’ve got mine set up. Be forewarned, this will be long winded and I’ll split into sections. One thing I noticed off the bat was the torch wiring, scotch-locks aren’t in my vocabulary, so as soon as I saw those, I looked for another way. When I bought my Hypertherm 45XP, I specifically bought it because they have the most trouble-free track record of communicating with all sorts of different con…

Looking for the info and pics.

I have a Hypertherm Powermax 65 with CPC port and the Langmuir Systems THC system, but can’t find instructions on plugging it in. What ports do the 2 CPC cables go to on the THC black box? Also, which wire goes from the table to the THC box? I need a clear picture and instructions on how the black box works and what the port initials stand for.

[TinWhisperer]

It will go from your hypertherm 65 (with the optionally purchased hypertherm CPC cable) to the divided input Div in on the VIM (voltage input module the small black box).
Then from the VIM DVI out to the electronics enclosure.

I just spliced into the trigger wires coming from the handheld torch and added a 2 pin female plug onto the machine
